Lawrence as golden


(5 stars)

His shows on 1960s-'70s WNIB in Chicago were heard by few. The station was "the other" classical music station on FM then. Dick Lawrence shows made up as filler, to save the family owned minuscule budget another evening host on Saturdays. The shows were quirky and I didn't always luv the subjects, but I stuck with it. Now I know how precious they were as audio tales of life in the 1920s mostly. It is golden, I truly wish we could thank Mr. L. for his dedication to his craft and passion!
